coz i want to test what you think on actually using it 😉  
list of options include:

```auto
Run Immediately?
-Default Text to type
-Default Speed (ms)
-Edit Character Symbol
ID (for multiple typers) // im gonna remove this - i can do it dynamically so you wont have to worry about it in future releases ;)
Font?
-Size?
-Bold?
-Italic?
-Underline?
-Colour?
Embed Font?
Alignment?
Direction
HTML? (see component help)
Multiline?
Selectable?
Border?
Background?
-BG Colour

```

yes its a text box which appears to type your text character by character…

ok i now have an .mxp file for it,  
no need to enter individual IDs…  
colour syntax and code hints to help you use it 😉  
also there were recurring depth issues which _should_ be fixed now…  
changed the way i structured it and it has ironed out quite a few of the bugs i could detect…

i cant find anymore in this release (1.06)… at least not that i can remember!

feedback is welcome _cough_ _cough_ 😉  
so hinting and subtlety isnt my strongpoint, so what?? lol

plllllllleeease test it to death??
